About the game
Part of the Star Fleet Battles Captain's Edition line. From the back of the cover: The Fast Warships! Forged in the fires of the General War: - Fast Cruisers: Their hot-warp engines drove them at speeds other ships could only imagine, but at a cost of heavy weapons attack power. - Heavy War Destroyers: Modular multi-missions ships that could serve as carriers, scouts, commando ships, escorts, of versatile light cruisers. - Fast Resupply Ships: The thankless task of bringing replacement fighters to front-line carriers fell to these unsung aegis-equipped heroes. - Police Flagships: The previously-unknown workhorses of the galaxy, these ships had everything a cop on the beat would need: marines, rescue, scout, minesweeping, and repair systems. - Mobile Carriers: Swift and deadly, the Mobile Carriers were based on War Destroyer hulls. - Fast Warships: Two dozen new historical ships: Gorn and Hydran heavy survey ships, Andromedan Ravager, Hydran Heavy Lancer, Federation drone cruiser, Lyran JagdPanther, ISC medium cruiser, Seltorian carriers, Jindarian metal-hulled cruisers, and more.
